摘要：An important current in recent American philosophy emphasizes the novel as the privileged site of connection between literature and democracy. Martha Nussbaum, for instance, argues that the novel favors liberal democratic values through the cultivation of our imaginative faculties. Yet the affinity between literary fiction and democratic community seems increasingly tenuous today. Especially in the Anglophone world, contemporary claims for literature’s place in the public sphere reject fictional distance in favor of forms of nonfiction that engage directly with actuality. In the French context, this “factual turn” is structured by a variable and often uneasy relation to an expanded conception of fiction. We see the emergence of new modes of literary activity, which are continuous with the “democratic” proliferation of information and “true stories”, but which do not necessarily exclude the fictional capacity to imagine alternatives.
